Parking on Harriet Island  

VIP Valet parking: If you will be headed to the West Entrance/Ohage Blvd to get to VIP Valet, West parking lot or the Pavilion we recommend that you come from 35E and take Lilydale Road to Ohage Blvd. Please have your parking pass or VIP ticket ready and visible for our security check points along the route.

There is parking along Plato Blvd. from Wabasha Street West toward the park. Many private businesses near the park open their parking lots to the public, most charging a fee that varies at their discretion. The Irish Fair of Minnesota does not control these lots or their pricing. 

Accessible parking is available on the north side of Water Street between Wabasha and Plato Blvd. until full. Overflow accessible parking is available at 90 West Plato Boulevard. Look for accessible parking signs.

There is no general parking on Water Street during the Fair, however vehicles may drop passengers off at 175 Water Street West.

The parking lots on Harriet Island are not open to the public during the festival.

If you prefer to use two wheels, we will have plenty of bicycle racks available!  Don't forget your lock.
